At 59, Jack Watson owns one of the most successful boutiques in Beverly Hills, has two adult children who are the light of his life, and his choice of Hollywood's most beautiful women. After a failed marriage in the distant past, and a brief, tragic affair years afterward, Jack has become the perfect bachelor. And he loves it. Amanda Robbins knew Jack Watson only as her daughter's father-in-law, an incurable playboy whom she dislikes intensely. Theirs had been a relationship based solely upon the marriage of her daughter to his son. And Amanda wants no other relationship with him. But when she becomes a widow unexpectedly, twenty-six years after she retired from Hollywood stardom to become a wife and mother, Amanda finds herself on unfamiliar ground, and is surprised to find herself both befriended by, and attracted to, Jack Watson. Worse yet, she likes him. There is a lot more to him than she previously suspected. Amanda's shock at her attraction to Jack is equaled only by her children's. Then suddenly, a startling announcement stuns both families, as Jack and Amanda are faced with an unexpected gift that neither thought possible, and with a choice that provides them both considerable challenge. But at a time in their lives when they least expect to feel that way, they not only feel young again, but are blissfully happy, in spite of the confusion, opposition, and obstacles all around them. Special Delivery is about what two people do when life gives them everything they wanted, twenty years after they expected to find it. In her 40th bestselling novel, Danielle Steel makes us laugh and cry as she touches the heart with tenderness and accuracy.

Because this shipment keeps getting delayed, I made an emergency B&N trip to at least get something in the mail for my #JolabokaflodSwap match. I‘m super disappointed—wasn‘t able to find anything at B&N from her “most-wished” list. I‘m hoping the replacement book I picked from her Litsy TBR is one she doesn‘t have yet. Then the Post Office was out of padded envelopes for Priority Mail 😩 But it‘s in the mail now & should arrive on Monday!🤞🏼📦💌

KateReadsYA I'm so grateful I was your Match because I can tell how thoughtful you are by your posts hahaha I will love whatever book I'm gifted, thank you so much!! 🥰 2y
BarbaraJean @KateReadsYA Awww, thank you! The book I had been waiting on for you finally arrived on my doorstep last night, so there will be another book on its way to you soon! 2y
KateReadsYA @BarbaraJean that is so kind of you. Thank you 🤗 2y

Having a whole bunch of separate orders show up at once almost makes me feel like I got to spend the day at the bookstore... but not quite 😕. #imissit #bookhaul #quarantinelife

It‘s now safely stored on top of my tallest book shelf until opening day!

Thanks to you and Casey, @ravenlee ❤️

Sigh of relief! My #muglove box is in the mail, and headed to the upper Midwest. ETA is Saturday. Although the original theme was completely sabotaged by Zazzle (darn those copyright infringement laws), I‘m happy with the contents. Hope my match is too!

Redy2trvl @ralexist Hi Reagan! I want to double check you received your mug love package. I just tracked it, and it was left on your porch (hopefully you porch 😀) on Friday. 7y
ralexist @Redy2trvl - The package is here! I just have to wait to open it :) 7y
Redy2trvl @ralexist Awesome! I just got nervous that it ended up on the wrong porch. 😂 Can‘t wait for Thursday! 7y

RadicalReader @Cinfhen surprise book mails are the best. I love reading the book mail is the most awesome experience any reader can have when uncertain of what book to delve into next 7y

My #totebagswap package is on its way! Be on the lookout @JenlovesJT47 I didn't get a chance to write anything about Litsy on the box before it was taken for delivery but I think it will be obvious when it's opened. The tote bag is not one of these, I just found these online to illustrate this post.

JenlovesJT47 Awesome, can't wait til December 1st! Thank you! 🤗 7y
MallenNC @JenlovesJT47 It's supposed to arrive on Monday! I didn't want it to be late. 7y

I was so excited to arrive home today and find my #beachinbookswap package! Thank you so much @Seekingtardis for your generous gifts. I am so excited to check out the books you sent! I love the tea (I am trying it out right now!) and cup. I use the post-it flags all of the time, and I have a weakness for Nerds! As you can see in the pics, my cat, Bandit, is being very nosy, and he has decided he really loves the ball. Thank you for everything!

Seekingtardis I'm so happy it came! I am so so sorry about it being late! I super hope you enjoy it!! 😍😍😍 7y

I loved this book, I thought the main characters were very likeable you felt for them and sympathised with them. It was just such a beautiful story about an older couple and finding love, happiness and passion no matter what age you are ❤️

Sad to say this is a book I didn't enjoy. The plots were vague, prose was weak like I'm reading a text book. I've always liked Danielle Steel's books but not this.
